Recurring Request

Request Amount Description of Request

Student Mental Health and Wellness $867,294

• These new funds will expand the university’s student mental health and wellness program.
• Demand for mental health, disability services, and other health related support has increased 117% over the past three years. This increase in demand is

expected to continue to rise significantly over the next decade, especially as Lander’s enrollment continues to rise.

• Due to increasing demand, there is a need for:
• Two additional counselors
• One case manager
• Three coordinators
• Other programming needs.
• Studies have shown that access to the services provided by this request will mitigate a potential adverse and disproportionate impact on many of the

university’s students in need of mental health and wellness support, resulting in an increased number of students being retained and graduated.

• Lander University has an obligation to provide care for the mental health and wellness of all students so they can graduate and be highly functioning

citizens of our state.

Information Technology Security & Infrastructure Enhancements $827,706

• Enrollment growth of 20% over 4 years and increased residence hall occupancy rates to 99.4% are pushing current network and computing infrastructure

resources to the edge of their capabilities.

• Course offerings have increased by 9.6% over 4 years, coupled with the establishment of the Center for Online and Innovative Learning require

the university to provide students and faculty with increased access to online resources.

• Lander must upgrade network bandwidth to support a reported average 7 wireless devices per student, along with devices faculty and staff use
• n campus.
• Other campus services and upgrades (telephone, safety/security equipment, HVAC management, etc.) have also impacted current capacity as these

systems are now network driven.

• The university must also provide personnel with appropriate resources to securely manage student data, educational and employment records, and

related data. Standardizing computer distribution, upgrade, and maintenance will allow administrative staff to more effectively manage student support.

• While acknowledging another year of record enrollment growth along with other compelling needs, Lander finds itself in need of:
• Increased bandwidth capabilities
• Centralized computer distribution and rotation for student support services
• Faculty activity reporting tool
• Migrating campus based systems to a cloud-based environment
• Implementing remote storage/critical function alternative backup to protect against database failure and ensuring business continuity

Information Technology Security & Infrastructure Enhancements $2,523,752

• The university must invest in enhanced security monitoring and identity management to better safeguard university and student data in an increasingly

hostile environment marked by persistent hackers, rampant malware, and ransomware. Both state and federal information security mandates require increased investment in these safeguards to keep Lander in compliance with FERPA and other relevant laws.

• Increased student enrollment and student demands on university bandwidth require Lander to upgrade and enhance the network backbone to better

position the university to support current student population and prepare for future growth.

• The improved network will better support cloud-based services, which is a current best practice and will provide enhanced protection of the university’s

data against hackers, against single point failures, and secure off-site back-up of critical data.

• Due to the needs stated above, while also acknowledging another year of record enrollment growth, Lander finds itself in need of:
• Expanded Wi-Fi Footprint
• Upgraded fiber optic network throughout campus
• Computer-based testing facility
• Migrating campus based systems to a cloud-based environment
• Implementing remote storage/critical function alternative backup to protect against database failure and ensuring business continuity

Repurpose Existing Space into Classroom and Laboratory Space $1,017,000

• Lander’s Fall 2019 Freshman enrollment and overall enrollment both broke records in Lander’s 147 year history! Freshman enrollment has increased

69% in the past four years, and total enrollment has increased 20% during the same period.

• In order to provide adequate classroom and laboratory space for Lander’s rapidly growing enrollment, coupled with the anticipation of expanding the

university’s education missions, the university has decided to repurpose current conference rooms and/or storage areas into additional academic/laboratory space

• The university plans to create 15 additional classrooms and laboratories on campus with the renovation estimated at $110 per square foot.
• Additional technology components associated with these room conversions are also included in this request.

Repurpose Existing Space into Classroom & Laboratory Space Renovation of 15 rooms (480 sq ft @ $110/sq ft) 792,000 Information Technology Upfit for 15 rooms 225,000 (Projector, Podium, Computer, Controller, SMART board, etc.) $ 1,017,000

Elevator Refurbishments & Other Infrastructure Maintenance $2,437,241

• Most of the 13 elevators on Lander’s campus are original to the buildings. Due to the age of each, the university has found parts for maintenance to be
• bsolete and determined that each elevator is in need of modernization and safety enhancements.
• The university has compartmentalized this project and is currently requesting funding for enhancements to six of the elevators.
• These funds will be used to replace the elevator controls, indicators and call buttons, and the university will implement all current safety related

protocols while taking the necessary steps to accommodate future requirements.

• With each year of student enrollment growth, Lander has added additional temporary parking spaces contiguous to the university. Lander would like to

pave these lots which are needed due to the university’s 20% increase in student population.

• The university will also correct storm water drainage issues, along with repairing curbs, making the campus more ADA accessible.

Maintenance & Renovation Elevator Modernization & Safety Enhancements (6 Elevators @ $175,000 each) 1,050,000 Parking lot construction/Paving 1,000,000 Storm Water Drainage and Curb Repair 387,241 Total Maintenance & Renovation $ 2,437,241

Capital Request

Request Amount Description of Request

Addition/Renovation to Nursing Building $5,000,000

• More than 30% of Lander’s incoming freshmen select the Nursing Program as their area of interest!
• Lander’s School of Nursing has been housed in Barrett Hall since 1998 with minimal renovations, and since that time,

enrollment in the School of Nursing has more than doubled with a demand for even more seats.

• The Bureau of Labor Statistic’s Employment Projections projects the need for an additional 203,700 new RNs each year

through 2026 with forecasts showing the RN shortage to be most intense in the South and West of the country. Locally, the National Center for Health Workforce Analysis shows South Carolina will need 10,000 additional nurses over the next several years.

• Compounding this issue, the American Association of Colleges of Nursing found that nursing schools turned away more

than 75,000 qualified applicants in 2018 due to an insufficient number of faculty, clinical sites, classroom space, and clinical preceptors, as well as budget constraints.

• Lander University wishes to combat these statistics by using these funds to renovate the current nursing building to

include additional didactic and laboratory instructional space, office space for additional faculty and simulation clinical space to substitute for lack of clinical placement, especially in specialty care areas.

Addition/Renovation to Grier Student Center $7,500,000

• Lander’s Grier Student Center was completed in 1979 for an enrollment of approximately 800 students. This fall’s

enrollment of 3,227 represents a 303% increase over the original design capacity of this building.

• This leaves the university in desperate need of additional space to accommodate Lander’s current and future students.
• Having outgrown the existing space, renovations and additions are necessary to modernize the facility and ensure that it

remains multi-functional.

• The updated student center will also fulfill the demands placed on the institution for common space, including

academic/classroom use and space for our students and community to congregate and engage in living and learning together.

• Because Lander recognizes that it is possible only a portion of this request will be funded, the university has

compartmentalized the project into three separate modules, each with a projected cost of $2,500,000. This will allow the university to proceed immediately with elements of the renovation that will ultimately result in the final design.
